Hero 5 Exposure Control & GoPro Exposure Lock [17/30]

Having a GPH5 and a Yi 4k, that is what I like about the Yi. You can either choose Spot (which will set the exposure according to the brightest spot) - Center (Which will set the exposure according to the center zone that you can drag like the GP) and my favorite, Average (which will set the exposure trying to make an average and seems to do a better job at it than the Gopro) . Gopro seems to set it's exposure according to the brightest spot when in automatic.

A couple of good things to know: The GoPro Hero 5 Black's exposure control settings are not persistent when the camera power cycles, so you have to re-do exposure control/spot metering again using the touch screen if the camera turns off. This is a royal pain if you have the camera mounted in a car where it is hard to reach! Turns out the GoPro Hero 5 Session just has the old spot metering, which DOES stay set when the power cycles. Especially good to know if you're shopping for the "right" GoPro and you plan on mounting it where you can reach it (or can't see the touch screen) and need spot metering/exposure control, such as in a vehicle.

How was the exposure being adjusted while the camera was facing you? Around time stamp 1:15.

Hey :) Quick question, when should i lock the exposure on a time lapse? on the sun during the sunset? And if i am moving from the sunset trough the night? And what about a night lapse, should i lock it at the moon or where it suppose to have the stars? Thanks :)

[@D-Rodriguez777]

Can you do this for pictures too? I've tried but doesn't seem to work... Only for video correct?✌😎✌

[@jamescarmichael8577]

Great tip, and well demonstrated with driving through a car wash.

I was video taping an Easter egg hunt and it was bright sunlight out side and it was very over exposed. The GoPro is new to me so I wasn't aware of that setting. It was terrible.
